We bought our Nikon Coolpix 8100 just before Halloween. I was in the middle of taking a picture today - my finger was halfway down on the button to focus it - and the camera went black. The lens is still out and open, as if it was turned on. Pushing the power button doesn't do anything. I plugged it into the charger - the green light blinks periodically. I am unable to get the camera to turn on or off either while it is plugged in or after I unplug it.

What it might need is to remove the power source (battery) for a few seconds 20-30. The camera is a fairly new model so it should also be under warranty. If the camera doesn't begin to operated properly after reinstalling the battery you might want t ...

When the camera is on it's base and plugged in you can view a slide show. when it is not plugged in you can not switch it on to view anything or take any pictures but the green light still works when you try to switch on. It happened on holiday recently when a bit of sea water hit the camera lens. The camera was very hot and kept on saying battery is low. so when i got back to London i bought a new battery for it but nothing still works.

My camera got slightly wet by ocean water and will not work. It sometimes starts to turn on (once even taking a picture with no LCD screen), but mostly is dead. Could this just be a battery problem? Can a battery get ruined by a little saltwater w ...

Camera will not turn on
my nikon coolpix s51 will not turn on fully. the green power light shows on but then it goes off after a few seconds. i have not tampered with the card but i know the battery is fully charged - tried twice recharging it. the lsd screen does not come on at all, nor does the shutter lens open at all. it is not responsive to anything at all, except a green light coming on the 'on' switch but then going off again... any ideas?

Battery problem This morning I turned on my brand new Nikon Coolpix 5400 and got nothing on the screen. pushed some buttons and still nothing. Went to turn it off and it won't. The lens stays extended and the power light is still on. I don't know if maybe the batteries are so low they can't do anything, but I was under the impression that the camera had an indicator for the batteries really needing to be recharged. The low battery light was on last night, but I haven't seen need to be recharged

Some of these cameras go from "low" to "no" very quickly. The electronics are more sensitive to available voltage than the mechanicals and it doesn't take full voltage to keep an led lit or to retract the lens. But the cpu shuts down. I would have ex ...

Canon SD4000 camera, when hitting the power button, the screen remains black screen, the green light blinks twice, lens zooms out, shutter opens. Screen remains black, and I do not seem to have any control at all; pressing the zoom button doesn't move lens, no notable reaction to anything. Hit the power button again, the lens zooms back into it's original position, shutter closes (occasionally does not shut completely), green light blinks twice, screen remains black. Tried turning on w/o SD card

We have a Kodak 8.2 mega pixel camera that is approximately 1 1/2 years old. I took pictures and then uploaded them onto my computer. Unplugged everything. When I went back to delete the pictures off the camera card, the camera would not turn on or do anything. I tried to charge the battery but when everything is plugged in it is still totally dark. We purchased a new battery thinking that was the problem and still nothing. When the charger in plugged in there is nothing - no lights at all.

Blank screen I am facing wird problem. i havent used my nikon coolpix 5700 camera almost for a year. yesterday when I tried to use, I get blank screen. I can see the menus on the screen and navigate through them. I can also seen picture that I had already taken in playback mode.
One more observation is,
green light (for autofocus) is blinking and does not become stable. Also flash always turns on irrespective of light conditions (But picturea taken are blank).
I tried resetting camera. No

Broken screen I had the camera in my pocket and I bumped into a bench as I was walking by and the screen on the camera no longer works, it lights up, but only shows up white, It still takes a good picture, cause when I view my camera card, the pictures are there, Only I can't see anything on the screen when I take the picture, So I have to guess when I shoot a picture, Can I replace the screen myself? Where can I buy one? and is it fixable?

Whenever I plug the USB cable into my camera, the screen goes black. It does it even when the cable isn't plugged into the computer. Even though the screen is black the camera still functions normally but it won't let me upload anything. When i try to upload my pictures it keeps saying USB Mode connecting........ then it says below that: Switch on [ MENU ] .... i don't know what to do ????

As far as I know, most cameras are made so that once it senses a USB cable (whether as being inserted physically or as a source of current), it reduces the camera to pretty much no more than a memory card reader. It is my belief this is so you ...

Ist issue: how do you get the battery out? I have been using a nail file to pry it out.
2nd issue: the charger blinks green and orange whether battery is inserted or not. Battery does not seem to charge.
3rd issue: I have camera plugged in by USB. The green power light comes on but that's it. The LCD screen doesn't light up, no other buttons seem to work.
Where does my issue lie? Is it the battery, the charger or the camera?

1st- you shouldn't have to do this. Stop filing your nails and you will be able to pry the battery out with a fingernail.2cnd- I can't decide whether this is a bad battery or a fault with the charger. Either way, the battery won't charge, ...

My photos always upload to my MAC automatically when I plug the camera into the computer. Today, however, the camera comes on, the screen comes on the camera and it says "busy," the screen then goes black, a red light in the bottom right hand corner of the back of the camera begins to flash, and eventually it even stops. I did re-charge the battery and it still did the same thing. Do you have any idea what is going on?

When I power up my Sealife Reefmaster Mini without a memory card in it the preview screen has data on it like it normally does (except it says memory full). when I insert the SDHC memory card in it like I always have used before and power it up the little green light over the preview screen lights up, but that is it. nothing on the preview screen and the camera almost seems frozen. so i cannot navigate any of the set up or anything to format it or figure out what the deal is. soon as i take the

Hi, my Mustek dig. camera is not displaying anything. Having bought this about a year ago and not really using it, I don't remember if it came with a charger or just the USB cable.
Anyway, I plugged in the USB cable and turned on the cam, but nothing popped out on my PC. The power button is still on (blue light) and does not turn off. But I still can not see anything - the cam is dark.
Please let me know how I can start using it again. Thank you
